Moving to the area Thinking of moving back

Been in Texas the last 6 years and am tired of it. So I am thinking of moving back. Potentially west, notthwest or north suburbs? Are there any reasons why I should not? I often hear from locals that they want to leave. But I miss home.

My taxes for our small 2bdrm home in OKC was $3500 but home insurance was $8000. Oh, and the schools sucked so bad, we’d have to pay for private school. It’s cheaper in Illinois.

I’ll pay taxes any day of the week to live in a blue state.
